![]() ![]() ![]() (Allman recently announced plans to get married again, to Shannon Williams, 24.) He has struggled with drug and alcohol addictions, battled hepatitis C and had a liver transplant.Īllman doesn't spend too much time explaining why his marriages failed and gives only cursory mentions to his five children. ![]() His five marriages failed, and one of them, to pop culture fixture Cher, made him People magazine fodder in the 1970s. He lost his brother and bandmate Duane Allman, one of rock's most revered guitarists, to a motorcycle accident in 1971 just as their band was ascending to the A-list. Lead singer, songwriter and keyboardist for the band since its formation in 1969, Allman never knew his father he was only 2 when his dad was murdered by a hitchhiker. He writes in a charming, Southern gentlemanly first-person voice with help from Rolling Stone scribe Alan Light and contributing author John Lynskey. Allman has no trouble hooking readers with the unflinching details of his highs, musical and otherwise, and lows. ![]()
